If you’re new to Canada (or even if you’ve lived here for a while), here’s a chance to تعر٠على مدينة منزلك and get some fresh air at the same time
يوم السبت, قد 1 ويوم الأØد, قد 2, cities across Canada are hosting “Jane’s Walks,” a series of free neighborhood walking tours.
تØتÙÙ„ بتراث جين جاكوبس (1916-2006), a noted urbanist, ناشط, ومؤل٠كتاب, Jane’s Walks inspire people to get to know their city — and each other — by getting out and walking.
أكثر من 60 cities worldwide, بما ÙÙŠ ذلك 30 ÙÙŠ كندا, are holding Jane’s Walks in 2010.
ولدت جاكوبس ÙÙŠ الامريكية. but immigrated to Canada in the 1960s. لها 1961 كتاب, والموت والØياة ÙÙŠ المدن الاميركية الكبرى, introduced innovative, Ø£Ùكار جديدة Øول التنمية الØضرية.
Jacobs championed cities that were higher density and mixed-use but still walkable and human scale. Because of her belief that local residents should have input on how their neighborhoods develop, Jacobs encouraged people to get better acquainted with their local communities.
Among the Canadian cities hosting Jane’s Walks this year are:
